Kickstarter - Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox Nenewed Campaign

June 2nd, 2012, 00:55

A conversation on our forums made me realise Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox had ditched IndieGoGo and set up an entirely new campaign on Kickstarter - one that has already been successful ($14k of $6k raised, 8 days to go).
The new pitch takes an entirely different tone and is worth re-visiting, particularly if you looked at their IndieGoGo campaign. Here's the feature list:

If you're just having a quick look, here are the key things that make this game what it is:

The game is an homage to classic RPGs such as Eye of the Beholder, Might & Magic, Dungeon Master, Stonekeep, etc

Movement is grid-based and turn-based

It is set in an infinite, persistent world (yes, persistent, too!)

The world is rich and full of dungeons, crypts, forests, cities, vast oceans and more

World is NOT randomly generated, but it IS infinite, so you can share what you find with friends

Items, weapons, quests, locations, maps, NPCs, even dialogue are generated by the game

Even some graphics such as weapon images are generated procedurally

The game is nearly finished, but we need some extra funds to add the final layer of polish to make the game as good as it can be
